It works for me as well. A couple of things to do:

The attribute names are not listed in
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/fo/ listed at the
top of the xorg-fo.xsl.
Where were these documented?
Does it prereq a certain version of docbook xsl?

Rather than appending the new code at the end of the file, which would
break the current style, could you move it under a new heading called
"ToC/LoT/Index Generation" at line 34?

I don't know if you have noticed, I wrote the xsl file by following the
"Part 2. FO Parameter Reference" classification so a reader can easily
put the code in context of the documentation.
